How skillful the Buddha was to not overwhelm sincere seekers with too much unrelated information. The actual problem is the innate view of perceiving what is not real to be real and inhibits the capacity to understand higher teachings that come after awakening. We must quickly evolve to become capable of receiving those teachings in the future because the Buddha has already done everything in his power to entice us to evolve! ~ Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~~~

If we are charitable by observing and responding to the needs of others, then it's one of the suitable forms of compassion. If we're charitable for other reasons, it generally has an underlying self-serving motivation. Because of this, benefit is uncertain while long term harm is possible.…

When we compulsively want something nice to taste without actually being hungry, our craving increases by practicing indulging our taste buds. The senses never become satisfied, but crave more through addiction and we become a true slave. Indulgence is the only reasonable and natural outcome when we are indoctrinated from childhood that there’s nothing beyond the senses. And so, we must increase their use or develop sophistication by wanting higher quality objects for our senses. If we do not, we are like a blind person because we are led to believe that we have no other choices. ~ Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~~~

Rinpoche is a reincarnate Lama of the Geluk tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. The Domo Geshe lineage includes Je Pabongka Rinpoche, Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche and the great Geshe Jampa Chombe. Rinpoche has been teaching for a number of years, and holds numerous retreats and spiritual trainings each year. The current Western incarnation of Domo Geshe Rinpoche arrived through rare and powerful tantric methods in order to transmit the authentic Dharma in the Western cultural context. This incarnation of Rinpoche is considered unusual in that she arose as an adult, a Westerner, and a woman.
Rinpoche is Founder and spiritual director of White Conch Dharma Center, with branches in USA and Germany. She also founded Grand Transitions Institute and Hospice. She is author of Mystery of Emptiness & Love and Red Lotus, Buddhist Wisdom. She travels much of the year to teach, and otherwise resides at her Hermitage in central Wisconsin where personal and group retreats are given.
